Kvitova escapes with the 2nd set and the match vs. Mandlik.
This was a classic case of experience winning over inexperience...
Mandlkik was outplaying Kvitova in the 2nd set, was up a break and was serving for the set. She got broken to tie it 5-5. Kvitova then held her serve. Then Madlik double faulted on match point.
The veteran held steady, while the youngster got nervous. As they say - there's no substitute for experience.

Tsitsipas lost to Thompson in 3 sets: 6-7, 6-4, 6-7. Biggest upset of the tournament or really is it with his injury? Did he come back a bit too soon?

More retirements. I wonder if somebody is keeping track of this.
Edit. And BVDZ retires too.

I wouldn't even call Rogers over sakkari an upset...I am not surprised at Tsitsi losing, either...except for the AO, where he did well, hard courts are not his best surface...his topspin makes the ball sit up and beg to be hit...

It's funny- I did notice Tsurenko at times making some weird gestures and all. But, Donna- you were Bencic-Lady-Macbeth all over the place when things weren't going your way. Did anyone else who watched this match think that Tsurenko had been out of line?

Per Pam Shriver who is Vekic's coach: Vekic did not shake Tsurenko's hand because in the previous match they just had Tsurenko retired from the match which seems to be a pattern that she has and players do not like that. Shriver went on to say that Vekic still should have shook the hand of Tsurenko after this match.

Shuai Zhang retired from her match after 13 minutes of play.
I don't know why she retired - but that's at least 3 in-match retirements today in this tournament.
And the day's not over yet.

I would call a Rogers win over Sakkari an upset at this point, as, apart from Abu Dhabi, Shelby hasn't done much of note this year, while Sakkari has made a couple of semis.
Right now it's 4-1 Rogers (1st set) in a rain delay...

i dont get any live feed here so this kind of description is really useful.. so thanks!nelslus wrote: ↑Fri Mar 10, 2023 9:59 pm I watched much of the third set of the Vekic loss. Other than Tsurenko smiling after some winners and such- no over-celebrating at all- I sure can't figure out why Vekic snubbed Tsurenko.
I also watched some of the third set of the Bencic loss. Teichmann played some outstanding tennis to go up 5-1- with Bencic doing her usual grouchy and sulking Lady Macbeth act- at which point Bencic got better, Teichmann showed some nerves, but played well enough to win it 6-3 in the third. Which, of course, is all that matters.
